Par2: Get version number from Version Resource Template 2005-08-15 -- Brent Stock If you are referring to information from the cwVersionRes template, I have
written a little extension to get date/version/build version information and to
make it available at runtime. This allows you to use the global variables
where ever you want in your code - splash, about, window title etc.
Note: I put the a version date called "Date of Build" into the verUserValue1
field from the cwVersionRes template to help keep track of that as well.
Here is my template - use it if you find it valuable, ignore it if not. Note
this is written for a specific application called PRISM so you may want to
change the variable names to suit yourself. I use it "as is" in other apps
(the name does not matter to the app) and just keep the PRISM name, either way,
it WORKS!
